It`s a long thin line, it sure is a hot and dusty day
And Colorado`s more than eight hundred miles away
I called to tell you that I`d be home sometime tonight
If the roads are clear and the weather is right
Now to say I miss you is putting it lightly, can`t you see
There`s nothing better than havin` you lying next to me
Early in the morning, honey you`re the first thing on my mind
Like the risin` sun to the travelin` kind
West Texas Wind, tell me why you try to hold me back
Tugging at my heart and pulling on my sleeve
You and this old guitar, you`re always up for picking just one more song
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave
Now the lights of Denver, they`re gonna shimmer in the deep red of the dawn
And I`ll grab my suitcase and slip it lightly through the door
And swear again I won`t leave him anymore
